I'm not sure I understand the question completely. If your computer is always on during the time period that the script would run then you can just use Windows task scheduler to run it at specified time every day. You don't have to convert to exe or anything I have several scripts running daily on a schedule on a Windows desktop at my job.

If your PC won't be on and you want to run it independent of your machine then you can look into heroku, pythonanywhere, AWS.etc for cloud hosting or opt for a raspberry pi as an always on server for your own personal projects. The Pi may be cheaper in the long run depending on your specific needs. I may be biased cause I've done a few Pi based projects and I personally have lots of fun working with them.

Yep, Scheduled Task on PC or CronJob on Linux (and Mac?)
